his venerable head against the posts.
.'Blackie." having noted this difficulty,

Woman's Home Journal: Girls,
don't marry a man for money, position,
or anything but love. Don't do it, il
you want to live to a good old age
and be happy. You may think that
money can bring you all you desire,
but it cant. That is where you arc
mistaken. II can buy good many
things, but it can never purchase con-
tentment for your heart or happiness
for your soul. 1t may bring temper
airy smiles to your face, but it will
leave great shadows in your heart.
Don't think / would advise you to
marry a worthless fellow, just because
YOU imagine you love him. A refined
good, intelligent woman should never
marry a vulgar. ill-bred man. No, no,
never unite yourself to any one who
is not man in the truest meaning
of the word. Neither could | advise a
woman to marry man who had no
visible means of supporting her, but
for heavens sake don't marry a million
aire or King if YOU don't love him.
1t will not do. People have. tried it
time and again. only to find it miser-
able failure. 1t may do for while.
You may revel in gilded balls and be
lost in the giddy rounds of pleasure,
but time will come when these things
will be. hollow, moekery to YOU.
There will be an .'aching void" the
world can never fill. Sometimes
mothers are to blame for the unhappi-
ness of their daughters. They teach
them that respect for their. husband
and lots of ''boodle" are infinitely to be
preferred to that foolishness called love.
That would do very well if life had no
waves of trouble, but it takes some
thing more than simple respect to
make two hearts cling together in the
hour of adversely. A woman that
turns her back on wealth and takes the
man of her choice may miss some of
the Injuries of life, but she will be
happy. Don't marry dude. Better
get you a monkey. 1t is cheaper and
a great deal nicer Don't fool with
that class of animals. They generally
wear SO hot on ten-cent brain,
and the woman who takes one of
these chaps will get left about as
badly as the Southern Confederacy did
at Appomattox.

sad Effects of Ear-Boxing.

Science publishes some valuable rec
ords collected by DR.. Samuel Sexton
on the observed effects of boxing the
ears. DR.. Sexton has fifty-one cases
upon his records in which the ear has
been injured by blows of the open
hand or fist. The nature of the in
iuries varied considerably. One had
Inflammation of the ear, with suspicion
of intracranial trouble, and a running
of the ear for twelve years following n
blow upon shat organ. This patient
subsequently died of brain disease. In
another case the ear became inflamed
and the hearing very much impaired.
In another case the patient was slapped
by his father on the left ear and inn
mediate pain and deafness ensued,
with bloody discharge, from which he
was three months in recovering.
The dangers TO which DR.. Sexton
calls attention are so grave that parents
and al Others should choose some
other method of furnishing their chill
dren than boxing the ears. 1t is not
improbable that, if DIR. Sexton pursues
his inquiries further, he will find other
cases in which brain disease has follow
ed his barbarous practice.

On the opposite side are the bathing
machines for the ladies, with a neat little

is the extra garment of the bath the
cork jacket which the polite little mis-
tress of the bath insists that madame

a good woman who struggled hard to
keep her house neat and her children
well dressed, but she had a violent
temper. 1t was Saturday. and the two
little children, Ben and Alice, were
ready for an excursion. Ben wore a
white suit, which his mamma had made
for him aud of which she was very
proud. just as Ben was leaving home
the mother discovered a black spot on
the dazzling white suit.
Whats that she asked, sharply.
"Only dease spot, mamma. only a

she exclaimed angrily, trying to strike
him.
Little Ben lodged. but ran his head
against the sharp edge of the bureau.
When she picked him up he was I'M
conscious.
The physician found the child
delirlous, and pronounced the case
brain-feyer. Ii was quick in its
work, and Ben was soon still and cold.
In darkened room sat the mother
by the side of the little coffin. Alice
stole in quietly and tugged at her dress.

Fish from the GnIf of Me,ioo.

this year the most favorable reports as
to the fishing. The catch has been

whether Spanish mackerel, reddish. red

Plantes in Paris, and two years later
the 'sdahlia'' was introduced into Eng

1904 Humboldt went to Mexico. where
he found the dahlia growing wild. and
collected seeds raised from Humboldt

gathered in England in 1906. By de-
grees the double form appeared, and
the dahlia grew under the hands of the
gardener till it became the severely per-

RAISING CALVES.

If you have any young calves to be
raised by hand let the job out to the
most careful man in the place. You
ought to attend to the calf yourself, and
the last man to be allowed near them
is the newly hired man. There is no
work about the dairy. not even except
ing the butter making. that requires
more skill and Judgment than breed
ing and caring for the young calves.
Everyone knows how careful the mother
must be who is compelled to raise the
infant on the bottle, now these little
calves have equally tender stomachs,
and any carelessdess in preparing the
food upsets them. Therefore put the
work in the hands of particularly
careful and reliable person.-American

WHAT AN EGG WILL DO.

which may be poured over the wound.
1t is softer as varnish for burn than
collodion, and being always on hand
can be applied. 1t is also more cool
ing than sweet oil and cotton, which
was formerly supposed to be the surest
application to allay smarting pain. 1t
is the contact with the air that gives
the extreme discomfort experienced
from the ordinary accident of this
kind, and anything that excludes the
air and prevents Inflammation is the
thing to be at once applied. The egg
is considered one of the best of RENE
dies for dysentery. Beaten up slightly,
with or without sugar, and swallowed
at a gulp, it tends, by its emolIient
qualities to lessen the Inflammation of
! the stomach and intestines. and by
forming transient coating on these
organs, to enable Nature to resume her
/ healthful sway over a diseased body
Two. or at most three, eggs per day

nary eases, and since egg is not merely
medicine, but food as well. the lighter
the diet otherwise and the quieter the
patient is kept, the more certain and
